gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-11 13:10:25

Nuclear energy is among the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels—if we can find a sustainable way to take care of the unwanted, radioactive waste generated by the process. Stakeholders from both the public and private sectors have suggested various solutions, but a Tennessee firm will be the first to actually build and operate a U.S.-based recycling facility for nuclear fuel. In a statement last week, Oklo Inc. announced plans to build the first private nuclear fuel recycling facility in

Nuclear startup Deep Fission goes public in a curious SPAC

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-11 13:08:40

Nuclear startup Deep Fission announced Monday that it has gone public in a reverse merger, netting the company $30 million. No, it’s not 2021. The startup is proposing to build small, cylindrical nuclear power plants and lower them into 30-inch diameter holes drilled one mile down into the Earth. By burying the reactors, the company hopes to solve several problems that plague current reactors, including concerns over meltdowns and potential terrorist attacks.

Some Heart Attacks Might Be Triggered by Germs

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-11 17:30:27

Germs might be even worse for us than we thought. New research suggests that certain infections could be a contributing factor to heart attacks. Scientists in Finland and the UK conducted the study, which examined arterial plaques taken from people who died from heart disease and others. They found these plaques often contained a dormant layer of bacterial biofilm; they also found evidence that bacteria released from this biofilm can then trigger heart attacks. Though not yet definitive, the st

In court filing, Google concedes the open web is in “rapid decline”

Is the web thriving or faltering? Google has an unexpected take in a new legal filing. Google is heading back to court soon in hopes of convincing a judge that it should not have to split up its ad business. The company lost its adtech antitrust case earlier this year, and now it's up to the court to decide on remedies for the illegal conduct. In its response to the DOJ's requested remedies, Google made a startling claim: "The fact is that today, the open web is already in rapid decline." Googl

These Headphones With Bose Sound and 100 Hours of Battery Won’t Destroy Your Wallet

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-11 21:31:03

I’m a fan of Bose audio. In recent memory, I’ve tried Bose’s SoundLink Plus, a portable Bluetooth speaker with big sound and a great (grassy) look; the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds with their ridiculously good ANC; and its Ultra Open Earbuds, probably the best pair of open earbuds I’ve used to date. That being said, there’s one thing that I don’t love about Bose products, and that’s the premium pricing. Nearly $300 for a Bluetooth speaker is a lot, and so is $300 for a pair of wireless

Imagine checking your heart rate without strapping on a smartwatch or chest monitor. This future might not be far off. Engineers at the University of California-Santa Cruz developed a system that uses Wi-Fi signals to monitor heart rate without the need for smartwatches, chest straps or other wearables. The project, known as Pulse-Fi, shows in early data that ordinary wireless devices can be repurposed as accurate health sensors. "Non-intrusive monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate is c
